What Is Dysport?

Dysport is a botulinum toxin injectable that temporarily relaxes facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. It works similarly to BOTOX, but spreads slightly more, which may make it a preferred option for larger treatment zones like the forehead. Results typically appear within two to five days and last about three to four months. Dysport is FDA-approved and used to address concerns such as the following:

Forehead creases
Frown lines (glabellar lines)
Crow’s feet
Neck banding
Facial asymmetry due to muscle imbalance
